I know how to calculate the distance between two movieclips, but I want to know how do you keep a movieclip centered between two movieclips? For example, three movie clips evenly spaced out in a row. I drag either movie clip on the end and the one movie clip in the center positions it self to be in the center x and y wise.

Does anyone know to accomplish this feat?

Thank you
